1 batch sugar cookie dough
yellow & Orange food coloring
*optional: white chocolate or white bark
decorative sprinkles
After you have your dough made, separate the dough into 3 bowls, getting the dough to be the same size. In one bowl dye it orange, another yellow. Leave one bowl of dough alone, this will be the light part of a candy corn.
Next get a bread loaf pan and line it with plastic wrap, place the un-dyed dough into the bottom, you only want to spread the cookie dough a little more than half of the length of the pan, spread it out and next put the orange, followed by the yellow. Wrap it up tight and put in the freezer for 45-60minutes. Then take the dough out of the plastic wrap, and below is what you will have! Now cut the dough 1/2 inch width, and then start making triangles with a knife and you have your candy corns! Cook these cookies according to your cookie dough recipe.
You can also put coarse sugar over these, to make them pretty, and when they are cool, dip the bottoms in white chocolate and sprinkles. I didn't, because of lack of time. I still liked them without, and they were a hit at my in-laws! I highly recommend this dough too, it was so fantastic! The dough and recipe is fromOur Best Bites blog! They are 2 Mormon moms, cooking up a storm and I love all of their recipes!
